How was your trip to the BaHaHaHaHaHaMas??!!       Yes,  *-I-*  could 
see that you and Janis were laughing at those caught in the cold and 
snow.       Bright, Sunny, Warm, In the mid-60s in SF today  --  And  
WithOut  Earthquakes!!!!!!!       SF Not Far From Camelot Weather Wise  
--  Rain in the winter but not necessarily Only At Night, Unusual to 
have Rain in the Summer, Japanese Currents  (which Do go by Alaska 
first)  keep SF moderate in the Winter and cool in the summer.       
Great working environment  --  Weather Wise!!!
